Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope you and your families have had a wonderful summer and enjoyed some time to rest, recharge, and make memories together. I am excited to welcome everyone back for the new school year!

For many of you, it will be great to continue the journey together, as I had the privilege of teaching your children in Grade 4 last year. I’m really looking forward to building on that foundation. For those who are new to our class, I’m equally excited to get to know you and your child as we begin this year’s adventures.

Thank you for your continued support. I’m excited for all that this year has in store.

Warm regards,
Matt Howard
Grade 5 Homeroom Teacher
